Please stay on topic - asking just about the phone capability please.
I have spent an hour searching the web and no thread indicates whether it is data only or also voice/phone capable.
I know that we can pull a phone application, but the question is if the modem is phone capable or not.
If you answer please link to your source, or share how you know.
I think for many if this is also a phone (and not just a VOIP sub-par option) it could go head to head with a Note2, with a reduced budget.
Thanks.
Even i am looking for this questions answer but not getting proper answer..Its not confirmed yet abt voice calls/sms
Add one more to the list of people who would like to know the answer to that question. I'd like to upgrade my Galaxy S, which is getting a bit long in the tooth, and I wouldn't mind to loose the back camera (I seldom use it anyway, plus I actually have a digital Point-and-shoot). Also, since I don't make that many calls, a small, cheap tablet makes total sense for me...
My guess is that, if the Nexus 7 with 3G is anything like the original Galaxy Tab (probably one of the original Android Tablets) on that department, then voice is a given. But you never know if the modem is crippled in any way...
Also, since we're on this topic, any news if the launch date is global, or only for the US? And if the 3G will be Europe-friendly, for that matter?

I have used Line 2 on mine, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Interested in knowing too.
Interesting topic..i've plan to upgrade my n7 to n10 or n7 3g..

This is exactly what I would like to know. Is there hardware that needs to the N7 to make it 3g capable or will Google send and an update to current N7 owners?

As far as I know, currently shipping N7s completely lack any kind of 3G-capable hardware. It's simply not installed, period. And, since that hardware it's a tiny chip with even tinier contact points that needs to be soldered at manufacturing time (not to mention the rest of the supporting hardware, including the antenna, and already supposing the PCB actually has the required traces in place, which may or may not be the case), then ANY currently N7s being sold will never be 3G capable by themselves. Unless someone develops some kind of dongle to be added, though I don't even know if that's possible...
So, unless I'm terribly wrong, to get an N7 with 3G, you'll need a new one.
Now, one question that popped into my mind in the meanwhile. There was at least one review that took the N7 apart that found out the PCB for the N7 actually has a mounting area for a back camera, and probably all the PCB traces are in place, too. At the time, the reviewer said it could have been a leftover from the design phase, or something that had to be cut back due to the target cost. With these new SKUs popping up, do you think Google will eventually throw the back camera in at some point?

i,ve asked google customer support several days ago on this same question but not yet get an answer. one thing i,m certain is that this all depends on the modem.that is, the modem may be data connection capable only, or may also be capable for making voice calls.

How did you manage to do that? I've been all over Google's support pages and have found nothing that even remotely looked like an e-mail address where we could ask for questions. Or a support form, for that matter...

My guess is, unless someone can get their hands on one of them before November 13th, we'll have to wait until at least then to get this question answered.
Also, a bit OT, but does anyone know launch dates for all countries? It would suck so much to have to cross the border just to get my hands on one... Right now, you can only get the 32GB Nexus 7 in Portugal (we completely skipped the 8GB and 16GB versions, they were never even available, though the good news is that we got the 32GB version along with the US), though only through retail (no Play Store for anything other than apps).

I can't remember very clearly . i just playing around at android.com looking for some customer support page,where i could ask questions via email since i am not at us. i finally made it at some page like 'my order'. i filled in some personal info,and managed to sent out my question to google. the 'order id' field was not required, but after that i was not able to find the page anymore. the support pages really sucks. just toooooo much links and i keep jumping everywhere and finally get lost,

If its no voice calls then i will not buy i guess,better i will buy galaxy tab 2 but NoT sure but on gsmarena.com they mentioned that ONLY DATA,NO VOICE CALLS on uppar side of specs.
I have been trying to find the answer to this question as well without any luck. Would be nice to get this confirmed or denied in a official way but i guess we wont know untill nov 13th

here the response from google customer support: The Nexus 7 3G version currently does not have a built-in phone app, so it will not be capable of making any phone calls. It has 3G data connectivity and Wifi as of now and currently may be used with any carrier that supports GSM/UMTS/HSPA+.

Still can't find anything besides a "send feedback" link over at Android.com. I think you were extremely lucky
Anyway, that reply might be a good thing after all: we all know the phone app is disabled for the N7, it has been said before. However, as someone also already mentioned, it's usually possible for people to enable that app, even if you need a custom ROM for it. So, assuming the whole "does not have a built-in phone app" thing only means "we didn't enable voice capabilities because, frankly, it would cannibalize our other offerings, but the underlying hardware is perfectly capable of doing that" (not that you would actually hear anyone from Google saying that, or have them write that down... lol), we'll be golden.
Is any way you can reply to that e-mail and specifically ask which is the baseband/chipset they will be using for the data capabilities? If we had that tidbit of information, we should be able to know if voice could be unlocked or not...
What a way to start my day, with a hopeful news... Nice!

i reply the customer support's email with another question but they didn't give me the direct answer!
my qusetion was:
"thanks for your kindly help. would you tell we if the hardware modem itself supports voice calls? as you know,in android,a 3rd party phone app could take the work of the built-in phone app. so lack of built-in phone app really doesn't matter much. eager for your reply and thanks again!"
their response:
" The N7 3G version can be used for Voice over IP calls, such as Skype, or Google Voice, etc but you will not be able to use the tablet as a phone. Hope that helps."

Technically No...
It doesn't answer whether or not the modem(radio) inside the device has been limited (hardware wise) to only a Data connection.
The N7 runs the tablet version of Android, which means the Phone Feature (dialer, etc) has been removed.
The phone dialer you see on some tablets, are custom to that manufacturer, not added by Google.
What we need to know is if the Hardware part of the N7 will allow for a Voice connection to be made. If so, then the Software part can be added back in. Which I'm sure if the hardware needed is there, then the many geniuses here on XDA will quickly make the Dialer appear
And I might be completely mistaken here, but SMS should be possible since its Technically Data, and only requires a Phone Number to route the messages. If SMS is possible, I would be happy with just that, as I do not use voice (if I needed to, I have a cell for that, which I pay an extreme amount for, but only make on average 2 calls a month) - But this would also require the SMS app be added back into the N7 firmware.
---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
I think it all come down to Waiting... Waiting for the device to be release, and someone taking it apart to see what its capable of.
Since Google employees people in their service department that are not completely "Tech" savvy, I don't think we can take any answer they give as fact.
I called them the other day, and asked about the Modem/Radio within the Nexus 7 3G.. and The CSR answer was "No you can not plug a Phone Cord or Ethernet cable into the device, and if you want to listen to the radio you must download a 3rd Party App or Try our Google Music service, but it's not a radio" - Couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably for 10min straight.
I have been really wanting to try out a smart watch lately, they just seem so useful and fun. However there seems to be a big lack of support for Windows Phone 8. Has anyone been able to find one that works with our WP8? Below are some of the watches that I have checked out so far. Let me know if any have worked for you, or if you know of any others that claim to work with WP8.
Pebble
CooKoo
I'm Watch
MetaWatch
Here are a couple others I have looked at...
Citizen Proximity
Sony Smartwatch
I also know that there have been claims that Microsoft is looking into making a watch device. But hoping to get my hand on something a little sooner, cause that will be months and months from now.
I would be interested in this info too....
Added couple other watches. Anybody else looked into this?

That's good to know, I'm going to see what I can get functioning with my Ativ PC
SPP can be done by Devs themselves (the OS has no Support for it built in). But that isn't the big Problem. Third Party Apps can't access a lot of the Information that Smartwatches want to Display. They can't access e-mails or texts. They can't access phone calls.
So what Data exactlly would they transmit to the watch? Aside from that I'm currently hard pressed to see the Advantages of those watches, given that they can only work as a "slave" to a Smartphone with almost no functionality that they could provide on their own.
Also having troubles with Jabra Stone2 and Nokia Lumia 920 ... PBAP 1.1 supported by both devices but Stone2 doesn't say contact name for incoming calls ... Looks like Smart Watches will have similar issues when used with a WP8 ...

Looking for the same thing, I found your post in this forum. I found this quickstarter project, search for Agent, the world's smartest watch.
It works with Windows 8 and has wireless charging. Looks cool, but the wait is long, earliest is Dec 2013.

This is what MetaWatch mgmt said one year ago:
"The answer is "yes". As soon as Windows phone supports a Bluetooth data connection and a Bluetooth API for the app to use (which it does not yet, even in Mango), then we will support that OS."
i.e. according to the OEM it's the OS.

So Agent has got some 887 000 dollars funding, which looks promising. But I wonder, what does Agent have that none of the others, including MetaWatch who's run by the ex-Fossil team of the SonyEricsson MBW-150/200 BT watch line, or Sony or anyone else have got, to be able to get the BT API etc for WP8?

Microsoft have tried before, together with Swatch, no less, but didn't get it quite right to open the door to whatever market is out there.
When using Google Maps, the phone keeps losing signal every half an hour or so - why, and how do you fix it dudes?
Is this common with the Zuk or am I the only one with the problem?
I actually had a problem with GPS today. It kept shifting my location so i missed the station I was supposed to get out of the bus.
I hope it's fixable with software update.
No, you are not the only one with this problem. It's the same with mine. Here's a larger thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/gps-fix-problems-t3231931

Is this defintely an issue with COS, and not hardware in the handset?
Seems like an ideal handset for my needs but working and accurate GPS is absolutely essential for me as i use my handset for a lot of fitness/strava stuff. If CM12.1/13 fixes the issue o can live with that

CyanogenOS is backed by Cyanogen Inc. company which was founded by few companies which wanted support for their devices. On the other hand CyanogenMOD is (was) pure comunity project.
To install CyanogenMOD you have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and than CyanogenMOD. Not so easy for beginner. Sorry I can't send links as xda begginer. Just google CyanogenMOD and find Zuk Z1 (code name Ham) on download page for more details.

Definetely not hw issue. No signal loosing or precision problems with CyanogenMOD. This device is really great on HW perspective. I can say that Lenovo wasn't saving money on any part. Sound is great, battery is not loosing capacity, notificatin LED can show any color and every sensors are not the cheapest one. And GPS? Best signal reception I ever had on my phones.
But SW support is really not perfect.
I've been using my Dragonfly Red with a USB OTG cable on my Nexus 6P with the app USB Audio Player Pro.
On the OnePlus 5 the app does not recognise any audio device.
Shouldn't it work with this phone too?
works just fine with my oppo ha-2se, all music apps... even usb audio player pro.
Turned off the phone and plugged in the DAC before turning it back on and now it works.
I have the same issue with mine but with a Sound Blaster E5.
I tried what you did and had no luck on my end.
So, I reached out to OnePlus' support as it was working with other phones and they recognized there is indeed an issue. For now, my ticket has been escalated to a higher level for addressing the issue for a future update but haven't got a response yet from them.
If the situation gets a revelant update, I'll post it here.

No, it isn't, then that's not your problem. I still get connection problems when I plug in the headphones when the phone is running for a few hours without reboot, in that case, a reboot solves it.

So far, my ticket only got escalated to level 2 but no answer back yet. I will send a reply just to bump it up again so I don't get forgotten.
I know for sure that the E5 is not the issue. It's programmed the way it is supposed to be programmed for Android using Google's standards. The issue is on OnePlus' side. I have tried other USB DACs and none have worked. I don't know how it was possible for the OP to make the dragonfly works only by plugging it in before boot because my friend's dragonfly never connected using that method on mine.
I remember back on my Note 3 that some third party ROMs weren't compatible with USB audio. So I'm guessing that OnePlus just never thought of testing that out and making sure it's working.

Still talking with them on the support ticket. They're trying to push the fault on Creative's side but I already talked to them beforehand and their product uses known standards that does not require to be tweaked for each specific devices (like, standard protocols are standards usually to ease compatibility, right?) so, the technical support discussion is still going on on my end. Honestly, this is frustrating.
Don't flame me if this is stupid! My Dragonfly Red didn't work until I found that in Settings/Advanced, "OTG storage" was disabled by default. Enabled, and dac was seen right away.

You're welcome.
Consider that Europe uses GSM, I believe and we use CDMA in the USA. Maybe that was an issue?
Beyond that, US distributed phones (not including the ones who had battery & boot loop issues, of course ?) are working fine but phones from outside the US could potentially be "suspect" so maybe there's a way they don't allow them to work? But I doubt it.
Perhaps your carrier can tell you...
God bless & I really hope you enjoy your stay ?.

What I have read is that the ban will only effect newer phones. An old phone like the 6P should be fine. Have you heard/read differently?

No. That's correct that devices that have already had access to play stores will continue. *as it stands now* and what I mean by that is trump already hammered the mfg once, if he says three months from now that google can't support even devices that already had access, I'm not sure google can fight that.
I was mainly stating the fact that the new devices that come out won't have access to play services period. His post made it sound like he thought they would only not be available In the US, but it would be worldwide since google is based in the US.
Realistically though, people could find a way to hack the api on the playstore apk to male it work on their devices, its the same way people have found a way to make play store work on phones running MIUI. In theory MIUI should never be able to run the play store apk, but that just isn't the case.
